If you have never been to a Japanese steakhouse, you should be prepared before your first visit. The cooks will bring food to your table to prepare it and will use sharp knives at your table. Sometimes it seems that they may lose control of the knives and hurt someone, but that never happens. The cooks are professional. They don’t show it, but they may find joy in the fear of their guests. The food is always good at a Japanese steakhouse. If you request it, they may prepare your food away from your table and bring it to you when it is finished, but then you would miss out on the experience. More info: japanese steakhouse San Jose
